Don’t miss the final outdoor planting event for the season,
taking place on Friday, October 31.

The second annual Trick or Trees planting event will
take place from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Volunteers are
invited to come and help plant trees and shrubs, and to wear Halloween
costumes if they wish. Everyone is asked to meet in the lower campus
parking lot. Gloves and equipment will be provided, but participants
are asked to bring their own reusable water bottle.

This event is the last in a series of events organized this fall in
partnership between the U of T Scarborough and Evergreen, a charity
that builds the relationship between nature, culture and community in
urban spaces – schools, communities and homes. More activities
will be announced next spring.

“The Trick or Trees event that we organized last year drew a
good crowd of volunteers and some clever costumes,” said Tim
Lang, sustainability coordinator at U of T Scarborough. “People
are welcome to come out for a break or lunch hour and give whatever
time they can to help with the planting. We appreciate the help of all
volunteers and we’ll make sure they have a hoot and a howl on
Halloween.”

Everyone can sign up on the Intranet. For more information on
sustainability at U of T Scarborough, contact Tim Lang, sustainability
coordinator at tlang@utsc.utoronto.ca or (416) 208-2669.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
